Cloudy and murky with some rain. Chilly.

Dull and murky through the morning with outbreaks of rain or drizzle and some areas of fog. Gradually turning a little drier later in the afternoon but likely remaining mostly cloudy. Light winds, but feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 5 °C.

Tonight:

Cloud, murk and drizzle gradually clearing eastwards this evening to leave a dry night with some clear spells. This may allow some fog and frost to form. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Thursday:

A chilly start with fog clearing as wind increases, becoming strong, especially on coasts. Clouding over with rain later, heavy at times. Rain clearing during the evening. Feeling cold. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

Storm Éowyn will bring strong winds Friday, with heavy rain clearing later. Winds easing Saturday, mostly cloudy with some rain possible. Further strong winds and rain likely later Sunday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells with some overnight frost are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. With time, these may become increasingly confined to northern parts, with pressure possibly building across southern areas. This would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
